Day, date, and the 1950s
By Dave Kowalski, Chicago ยท
Tissot's had the Visodate around since the 50s, and this version keeps the look. Silver dial, day-date window at three, steel bracelet. 42 mm by 11.5 mm. Powermatic 80, 80 hours, display back, sapphire.
That 42 mm is a little big for what's basically a dress watch, in my opinion. On a smaller wrist, it'll look a bit oversized. And 30 m of water resistance is a joke on a steel-bracelet watch you'd want to wear every day. One trip to the beach and you're nervous.
$675 to $775. The movement is the value. If you want a dressy day-date for the office, it's fine. For one watch to do everything, I'd go Gentleman or Seastar.
